Syderstone Ayton sources
NW of Norwich
William AYTON was born in Norfolk, England and married Mary WACEY on 16th May 1775 at South Creake, Docking, Norfolk.
my mother had recorded William's DOB as 1st May 1763 in Norfolk but I cannot find a source for this information and it does not seem to fit with his marital record - thank you Ian Hall for the correction. My mother thought perhaps William Oughton b. 1/5/1763 of West Acre, NFK, son of William and Mary, was this William Ayton - seems unlikely.
Mary WACEY was born 2nd June 1754 in South Creake and died in
Syderstone, Norfolk on 24th Nov. 1797. Her parents were Thos WACEY and Elizabeth CHAMBERS.
William Ayton m. Jane Hazell
There is record of a William Ayton, widower, marrying a Jane Hazell nee FREEZER?, widow, in Syderstone Parish Church on 17th April 1798 and who died shortly after in Nov. 1798.
a researcher has given the following family tree for the Jane Hazell:
